A It is normal to be slightly sore the day after Sculptra injection and a few bruises are common. I recommend medium pressure massage 5 times a day for 5 min for 5 days. Massaging more than this will not hurt anything. (I tell my patients the more the better the first few days) I also recommend using a lotion or oil on the skin during massage. Coconut oil works great. Small little circles upward and outward in direction are suggested. Final results from your Sculptra treatment will be seen in 8-12 weeks. Hope this answer helps.
